How cool is that, right?

Now I’m racking my brain trying to remember who produced an hour program (probably on public TV, I don’t recall commercials), likely in the ’70s, about a young mother who was also armless. I have a vivid image of her picking up a melon with her foot in a grocery store. It was noted that shopping with feet apparently disturbed some customers, and I recall thinking the equivalent of “WTF”.

It probably doesn’t occur to most people that they aware of the need to wash their feet just as often (probably more often) as most people wash their hands.

As Tisha points out, using your feet for everything probably makes you even more aware of the importance of washing. And I can imagine her floors are cleaner than most people’s too!

I have a friend who is missing his lower forearm and hand, and he had some amazing ways of getting stuff done. But Tisha takes it to a new level!

One of my earliest memories is of seeing a man play guitar with his feet on TV. I was about three at the time so can’t at all remember now whether his playing was comparable to an armed (is that the correct adjective? Armful? Dextrous?) person but I remember being quite in awe of it at the time.
